Drunken Cabbage

Did you know that cooking with beer uses about 50 percent fewer calories than cooking with oil? One tablespoon of olive oil has approximately 120 calories, while an entire 12-ounce can ofbeer has around 146, breaking down to fewer than seven calories per tablespoon. It’s even been said that cooking with beer can enhance the flavors in foods, especially meat. But that’s not all — it can be healthier, too.Toby Amidor, M.S., R.D., and author of “The Greek Yogurt Kitchen,” explained toSelf that “beer can actually boost your health because it is packed with B vitamins, magnesium, phosphorus, and selenium.”
